USDC
USDC is a regulated dollar‑stablecoin fully backed and issued by Circle. It resides on Ethereum (and Solana) and can be redeemed one‑for‑one for U.S. dollars via Circle Mint. On Oct 27 2026 Circle and ACI Worldwide announced a Colombia‑focused pilot that pairs ACI’s Connetic cloud‑native platform with Circle’s USDC infrastructure to evaluate USDC settlement alongside existing payment rails; no banks, volumes or time‑cost metrics have yet been disclosed. Following the Oct 30 2026 Binance hack, Binance froze $3 billion of assets, including USDC, while the full extent of those frozen holdings remains under investigation. USDC remains one of the main settled tokens in the exchange’s frozen pool. Binance lost 823 million USDC. Jeremy Allaire said Circle froze more than $800 million in USDC Binance reserves $5 billion of company funds in USDC.
